There is a growing desire by homeowners to install solar panels on their roofs to cut down on their electricity bills. But there is a letdown – solar panels are dull and they tend to interfere with the appearance of the house, generally a reason

Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a solar device which will improve the efficiency of solar panels by using heat to produce infrared radiation which can be collected by a conventional photovoltaic cell. According to the researchers, the device take advantage of

MIT researchers have achieved a breakthrough success in creating an all carbon solar cell that will be able to harness energy from solar rays that lie in infrared region of spectrum, and which silicon cells were unable to harness previously. About 40% of the energy
